I decided to make a Gingerbread Treehouse. My first plan was to make a wire form and then press gingerbread dough into the form. However, while baking the dough slowly slid down the form and of of the branches... so I went looking for plan B. I did a search for ideas and found an idea on Flickr. I designed templates and spent a day baking the pieces.
I then piped frosting wood grain on each tree part and built the tree base and house.
After these set I glued each tree branch/trunk/root part onto the base using royal icing.
Once the basices were taken care of I was able to spend time with the creative part. It took about one week to complete the house (if you don't count the failure of Plan A.) Here is a 360 degree view video of the completed house. (Please excuse the video quality... I had to use my webcam.)
I'm just thankful I'm finally done and the powderd sugar is finally mopped up off my floor.
